Writing an Effective Story

To reach the objective of our work, it is especially important that we turn our dreams into dreams of many individuals, groups, many other organizations, the government and the media. When a single dream is dreamt by many people and organisations, then it moves toward fulfilment. But if the dream remains limited to our own eyes, heart and mind, it can never be fulfilled.
To transfer our dreams to many other eyes, hearts and minds, it is important that we tell, write, inform, narrate stories of ourselves, our subject and the community.

If every day the social workers and representatives of civil society organizations endeavour to be alerted about the changes occurring within the society and amongst the people and look for their causes, stories can be traced, identified and related. Or, if some issue is overly complex and there are constant challenges; then if they notice the reasons for the challenges, then too stories could surface.

The purpose of writing a story is not ‘telling’, the purpose is ‘showing’. This means that we do not ‘write’ about a subject; rather we ‘draw its picture’.
